The Siberian battlefield is the battlefield where China invested the most troops. The Third Army, the Fourth Army and the Third Cavalry Army still surround hundreds of thousands of Russian troops in Irkutsk. The Fifth Army and the First Cavalry Army are in Hubei.
Musk and the Russian army confronted each other. The First Army attacked Omsk from Megt normally and cleared out more than 100,000 Russian troops between the two places. In addition, the Central Asian battlefield and the army of the five Central Asian tribes were also clearing out
The remnants of the Russian army in Central Asia.
Chinese Army Minister Cai Yun personally took charge of Megt and commanded the battle situation in Siberia. However, judging from the current situation, China has gained a decisive advantage. In the attack of the Chinese team, the Russian army has suffered heavy losses.
, lost a large area of territory. Although Tsar Nicholas II was still gritting his teeth to support it, even fools could see that Russia was about to exhaust its national strength for this war. A large number of farmers responded to Tsar Nicholas
The second generation called to join the army. But these new recruits who had just put down their hoes and had not been systematically trained, would be the opponent of the elite Zhongzhang team? In addition, the large losses of weapons and equipment also made the Russian army's combat power more
Weaker and weaker. Military personnel can be recruited easily, but even if they are purchased from abroad, it will take a lot of time. In addition, with the continuous defeat of the Russian army, Russian society has also begun to be in turmoil.
"Sir, the base camp calls. The base camp asks us to end the battle in Irkutsk as soon as possible and then achieve a decisive victory in the battle against Russia!" A staff officer reported to the Army Minister Cai Yun.
"Call back to the base camp and say we are ready. The Battle of Irkutsk will end within five days. In addition, the Eighth Army stationed in the Trade and Marketing City can be transferred back to Beijing!" said Army Minister Cai Yun.
. Due to logistical pressure, although the Eighth Army was formed, it has been staying in the trading city and has not been to the forefront. It is used as a reserve team. Now, the situation of the war is very clear, so naturally the Eighth Army does not need to stay anymore.
In the trading city, this can also save the consumption of strategic materials.
"Yes, sir!" After saluting, the staff officer left quickly. The navy won a great victory in the decisive battle, which made the army officers and soldiers feel great pressure while being excited. After the navy annihilated the combined fleet of Britain, France and Russia.
The war at sea can basically come to an end. Next, the northern land battlefield and landing operations against the United States and Japan are all required to show the army. The army also hopes to prove it in this war.
Win honors by yourself.
"Da Nikola, the result of the naval battle has come out. I wonder if you will continue to resist?" Army Minister Cai Yun said secretly. The reason why he surrounded Irkutsk and did not fight was, on the one hand, it was
In order to reduce casualties, on the other hand, we naturally want to solve these hundreds of thousands of Russian troops without bloodshed.
On the morning of June 23, the morning sun shone on Irkutsk, the beautiful city has now become a ruin. Although, the Third Army and Fourth Army of the Chinese team against Irkutsk
Just surrounded but not attacked. But every day's shelling was still essential. Over time, all the rooms in the entire city were destroyed, and all the streets and houses were broken. The Russian army in China**
At least 50,000 people were lost during the shelling of the team. At the same time, the Russian army's cannons were even more ten. If Grand Duke Nicholas had not ordered all the cannons to be hidden, they would have been lost long ago.
It's right.
Even though the conditions in Irkutsk have become so bad, the remaining 400,000 Russian troops are still standing in Irkutsk. Although the entire city has completely become a ruin, they have built a group on the ruins.
The strong defense line of the road almost formed the entire city into an indestructible fortress. These Russian troops, like marmots, survived in Irkutsk, which had become ruins. Under many ordinary houses
The cellar became a place for them to live and store ammunition.
Although the conditions were very difficult, the Russian army was still persisting. They firmly believed that the final victory must belong to Russia. The officers claimed to ordinary soldiers that the Russian Navy was forming a joint fleet with the British Navy to expedition China. Hundreds of warships were shipped.
The huge fleet formed will definitely defeat the Chinese navy. At that time, if China's coastal areas are attacked, the Chinese team will have to retreat. They will be able to take the opportunity to counterattack and conquer the country in one fell swoop.
In the Russian underground command of Irkutsk, the Russian commander, Grand Duke Nikolai, looked a little pale because he stayed in the command center for a long time and did not get sunlight. At the same time, his work and rest time,
There has also been a lot of changes, a little bit of day and night. It is early morning, but he seems very tired.
"When is it now?" asked Grand Duke Nicholas.
"Your Excellency, it's 7 a.m. on June 23!" the adjutant replied.
"Ask Moscow, has the decisive battle between the United Fleet and the Chinese Navy begun? Did the Imperial Navy win?" A trace of expectation flashed in Grand Duke Nicholas's eyes. The decisive battle between the navy is directly related to their future destiny of hundreds of thousands.
"Yes, Lord Grand Duke!" the adjutant replied. In less than twenty minutes, the adjutant came back with a telegram.
"His Excellency Grand Duke, Moscow calls, the decisive battle has not begun yet. The Army Department requires us to continue to stick to Irkutsk!" said the adjutant.
Grand Duke Nicholas nodded, he felt something was wrong! Calculate the time, the decisive battle between the United Fleet and the Chinese Navy should be almost the same! However, there are too many variables in the naval battle, and maybe it was delayed for some reason.
indefinite.
At this moment, a Chinese Russian man with a bearded face entered the command center, and he was full of panic. The person coming was Annuchin, the governor of East and West Siberia in Russia. Although, when Grand Duke Nikolai arrived in Irkutsk
After that, he had taken over the military and political power of East Siberia, but he still did not allow Anuchin to leave East Siberia. He was still the governor of East Siberia. Although he no longer had any power.
"What's wrong, Lord Governor? Is something happening?" Grand Duke Nicholas frowned when he saw Governor Annuchin's appearance.
"Great... Grand Duke, have you received news from the navy?" asked Annuchin, the governor of East Siberia.
"I just asked the Army Department, and the Army Department replied that the decisive battle has not begun yet! Don't worry, Governor General. The Imperial Navy and the British Navy have hundreds of powerful warships. The Chinese Navy must not be our opponent! Wait for the Navy
By defeating the Chinese Navy, the crisis in Irkutsk can be resolved!" Grand Duke Nicholas said with a smile, as if he seemed very confident.
However, after hearing his words, Annuchin, the Governor of East and West Siberia, was not only not happy, but his face was filled with despair and his mouth kept cursing: "Damn it, why should we treat us like abandoned children?
”
The cunning Grand Duke Nicholas immediately realized something was wrong. He asked quickly: "Governor, what happened? Or do you know what happened?"
Annuchin, the Governor of East and West Siberia, hesitated for a moment, but said: "Hisser Duke, I don't know why the Army Department responded to you like this. However, the news I received was that the naval battle had already begun yesterday morning, and yesterday afternoon
By then, the naval battle was over. The Chinese Navy won at a small price, and the combined fleet of Britain, France and Russia had been wiped out!"
"What? Impossible? This is absolutely impossible!" As if a bolt from the blue sounded, Grand Duke Nicholas was suddenly suppressed. He never expected that after waiting for so long, such a result would be.
Is the powerful joint fleet of Britain, France and Russia so vulnerable? It was actually won by the Chinese Navy at a small price.
"Damn it, the navy has failed, the Chinese have enough troops to deal with us! This war is over, Russia will definitely lose!" Grand Duke Nicholas said a little decadently. However, he still did not give up, in his heart
, and still expect a miracle to happen. Perhaps, is the news received by Annuchin, the governor of East and West Siberia, false?
"Governor General, the news you got from there must be told by the Chinese! I said, what are your intentions?" Grand Duke Nicholas stared at the things, originally Governor Annuchin.
"Your Excellency, you can't slander me! Now Irkutsk is surrounded by the Chinese team, we are people on the same front!" The Governor of East and West Siberia jumped up like a cat with a tail stepped on.
"So, where did you get the news?" Grand Duke Nicholas asked tightly.
"Hmph! The defeat of the navy has spread all over the world! I just sent a telegram to an old friend in Moscow to ask. If the Grand Duke does not believe it, you can also ask the old friend. However, I think the Tsar King will ask.
Your Majesty hopes that we will bear the Chinese here. If you ask the Army Department, you will definitely not get any real response!" said Governor Annuchin.
"Come here, secretly send a telegram to Earl Miliujing to ask about the authenticity of this matter!" Grand Duke Nicholas said to the adjutant with a gloomy face. Earl Miliujing is the Russian Field Marshal, but he has retired now.
He has a very close relationship with Nicholas.
Half an hour later, Grand Duke Nicholas received a telegram. After reading the telegram, his face suddenly became gloomy as if water could drip out. The news he received was exactly the same as what Governor Annuchin said.
"Bastard! Why do you want to deceive me?" Grand Duke Nicholas, like a wounded lion, made waves of wailing cry! (To be continued. Please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!)
